I worked on video compression techniques using wavelets 30yrs ago. Computing power and networking speeds were not what they are now and I had difficulty getting the backing to carry it forward. I’m so happy that this still has such active development and boundaries are still being pushed. Bravo.

I read your comment a few hours ago. Disturbed sleep, the tight little loops of information retrieval, processing and repeat. That feeling of exhaustion. It’s real. It’s happening to me right now. What’s new is I knew I’d be here, writing this, all those hours ago. Mixed with the cards and the Maths.
